Harvard and Cake!

For the second time, I had the pleasure of competing in the National Animal Law Moot Court Competition at Harvard Law School. It was considerably less snowy than when I went there the first time.

Bikes last year:


Bikes this year:


After our early morning flight (on which I got a taste of the Boston accents I love so much when the flight attendant announced that "JetBlue only accepts credit cahds"), we explored MIT's campus (which, PS, is just as geometric as you'd expect).


And on Saturday and Sunday we competed. It was so great to see colleagues I had met the previous year and to make new friends. Being around other folks who want to use the law to help animals is so inspiring!

That's Christian (my co-counsel), Hailey (who competed in the closing argument competition), me, and Harvard's super fancy architecture.

And us after competing in our semi-final and final round.


Looking all lawyer-y in one of our rounds.

Like last year, the tournament was an incredible experience. And the food was all vegan (like the chocolate cake featured below) and top notch! I may or may not have brought my own tupperware to take left-overs home in.



I wished we could have stayed longer, but alas, we had a plane to catch, and I had a final to take on Monday. Until we meet again, Boston, I'll be sure to have my credit cahd ready to buy all your vegan chocolate cakes...
